Furriends on Friday!

Some of you may remember that two years ago I tore the tendon that holds my kneecap in place. It was pretty painful and I moaned when I walked; that's how Mommy and Daddy knew I had hurt myself.

They carted me off to the vet and I had knee surgery to fix my luxated patella, the nice Lady Vet (with the soft hands and Aussie accent) fixed me all up.

This is my knee the day I came home. (The thingy on my tummy is a pain patch.) I was a Good Patient and didn't have to wear the Cone of Shame--I didn't nibble at my stitches (OK, maybe one) and I took it easy on my leg in my private recovery room for two weeks. The hardest thing--besides my hurty leg--was squatting to poop. Sorry if that's too much information!

Luxated patellae are NO FUN. I had one and was a very brave little mancat about it, and Aila-sisko had TWO - thankfully only one needed surgery. And she was pretty brave too. Don't tell anyone, but I still have a little limp now because of it....... You are a very generous mancat, Felix to advertise this good cause. We are off to the blog now.............By the way, do you have any lingering problems now, or are you tip top and back to original working order ? No pooping positioning issues we hope ?

Oh, Felix...Coco says she is happurry to hear from such a handsome mancat who was brave for his surgery, too! All us Curlie Swirlie cats say Thank You for this sweet post and for spreadin' the word about the auction, too!

Felix, we don't remember that very well but we sure are glad you are all right. Thank COD, none of us have had to have that done.We also wanted everyone to know that all these nice kitties here at the Katnip Lounge have put some really cute items on the auction for Coco. Coco's Mom is so nice too. She is always helping people with their sick kitties. Thanks Katnip Lounge for advertising the auction.
